Trojan Horse Affair
Just after his last assignment with the Venture creature. Captain William Kirk was told by Commodore Weller to head for Earth for a special training exercise after a few days of liberty.
When word had gotten around the entire U.S.S. Deer Born. Everyone on board including Dr. Carl Elders after what he went through with figuring out the species. He was in need of a few days of relaxation, even though not entirely. No doubt he's going to spend some of it with his girl friend Susan. Especially when he's not seen much of her during the last mission. He was mostly too involved with taking care of his patient.
Even though feeling some what frustrated. He wasn't truly able to understand the creature and the way it was made up for when it comes to it's energy levels.
But at least for now. The creature had decided to take the option of living on that damn planet by himself. Until the Federation specialists are able to come up with a way to get him home.
He just hopes that the Venture creature doesn't feel betrayal having been left alone. Even if he did make that decision to go in the first place.
Elders was able to finish up the last of his work from inside of sickbay before heading out. What he really wanted to do was take a trip over to the holodeck and try his hand at mountain climbing once again. Alone...
There would be a flicker of hope that he just might be able to do it without any type of interruptions. And it certainly will be illuminating to the facts that it's going actually to happen in the first place.
It would only take a moment in order to make sure that his department was fully staff prior to him going off duty. And it was for the most part at this time.
While walking out into the corridor to head for the holodeck on deck 18th.
Star Fleet Command Head Quarters
Commodore Robert Weller's office
Commodore Weller was still trying to figure out the orders. As to why they asked the U.S.S. Deer Born to be involved with the mock war-games Trojan-Horse Affair.
It's supposed to be just a simple little training exercise for those just graduating. It's mostly straight forward for those that wish to be promoted to Captain or any other position.
Though using the Trojan-Horse test is nothing to sneeze at for when it comes to surprises.
And it tends to have a ripple effect. On whether or not the Federation crew-member is able to figure it out at first with he or she's senses.
Weller was walking into his office after the briefing about the exercise. He needed to send a communications to the Deer Born. In order to speak further to Captain Kirk in regard to the Venture creature.
He still wasn't convince in regard to the outcome of the mission. And including to the facts that the Romulan empire and the council were extremely quiet in regard to the entire episode. And that also includes Commander Kang and his neutral zone fleet of war-birds.
And Weller knows damn well that Commander Kang hasn't been properly treated ever since he was sent back home to Romulus. Just after being transported back from the Cave-men mission.
Something that he wouldn't be able to tolerate afterwards. Any way for now he was able to settle into his seat. As he's directly in front of his communications terminal. And having to place in the proper access codes in order to send the message to Captain William Kirk.
He just hopes to coax the captain into coming quicker than possible. Even if his chief engineer Donaldson will probably bitch and moan about it all the way home to Earth.
But for now. He was more inclined to have the war-games into place just prior to the Deer-Born arriving to Earth and his crew. To take a few days off for liberty.
That is if everyone comes back into a coherent state in order to the Federation vessel without getting caught red-handed with the war-games.
"We shall see." He says to himself before settling in for the blow by blow of his conversation with the hot-headed captain of the Deer-Born.
